If you follow my blog, you already know about Stella
Writes. What you don’t know is SDE and I
have been working to create a Stella book trailer. And, here it is! It's delightful to see Stella in all her animated glory!

Naturally, SDE and I hope the book trailer will serve to
spread the word about Stella much further.
We want more teachers to get a sense of what these unique resources have
to offer student writers-- how they can lift their motivation and help them
develop competence and confidence for each text type via the engaging modality
of a picture book. We hope more
teachers and students will fall in love with and want to work alongside our
writer-extraordinaire: Stella!

Please help me spread the word by sharing the link to the trailer with anyone you know who teaches young writers (K-4). Thank you so much!

I would appreciate any feedback you have on the purposes
you think the book trailer could serve.
Is this something you see could be useful to view with students (in
whole or in part)? If so, why? Are there other ways the trailer might be
used? I envisioned the audience to be
teachers, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts.

I'm thrilled and appreciative for the work of SDE (Staff Development for Educators) and Tom Schiele in producing this video. A HUGE thank you to Carly Storro (a high school senior) for capturing Stella so perfectly!

(If interested, you can find out more about the Stella Writes picture books here on my blog or find them on Amazon.)

HELLO

I'm a full-time K-6 literacy coach in a Title I school. I've taught for almost 30 years in different parts of the country. I love learning every day alongside teachers and students. My passion for literacy teaching has led me to write a number of books for teachers on literacy practice, including the picture book series: STELLA WRITES. When I'm not teaching or writing, I love to present, consult and collaborate with other passionate educators across the nation. I'm also 'MOM' to one overly energetic young boy!
